PASSWORD NOT NECESSARY

Seems today we need a password for just about everything. You can not do life as we know it without the magic word so to speak. This can be difficult when you have many to remember. How many readers have been locked out of an account because they could not remember their password? 

I have great news. God does not require a password to talk to Him. You will not receive an error message. He is available around the clock for you to "chat with". Isn't that terrific news. No waiting, no computer viruses, no being locked out. He is there, period! 

           Psalm 4:1 says 'Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.' If you do not know how to "talk" to God perhaps just use that verse. Proverbs 15:29 says 'The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.' Do you harbor sin in your heart? If so confess it today as it says in Psalm 66:18 'If I had cherished iniquity  in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.'

Cry out to Him today. Do not be scared to carry on a conversation with God. It is as someone as talking. 

PRAYER: Thank you Lord that I can talk to you anytime. You are there.  I do not need to be a "church member", baptized, or say a special chant for you to hear my cry. I love you Lord. Thank you for hearing my prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen.

GOD NEVER IN SPAM FOLDER

In communicating with each other, especially through electronic media, sometimes messages are not received or they may come across the wrong way.

Not so with God. We are always connected to Him and not in His "spam" or junk email folder, if He in fact had one. He waits to hear you and wants you to "talk" to Him.

There may be some who are reading this who see prayer as something only priests, preachers, rabbi's or other knowledgeable people do. My friend, prayer is for everyone. Jeremiah 29:12(NIV) says 'Then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.'

You think maybe your prayers are going into some heavenly "spam" folder because they seem not to be answered or at least not like you think they should be. Trust me when I say God has a plan. Isaiah 55:9(NIV) says 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'

Are you able to trust God? Can you pray and leave the rest to God? Remember too, to make sure your heart is right with Him as often iniquity may separate you from Him. Psalm 66:18 makes this point when it says 'If I had cherished sin in my heart the Lord would not have listened.'

Call out to Him today as it goes right to His "inbox".

PRAYER: Thank you Lord that you love me and you want me to talk to you in prayer. I am sorry Lord for not trusting you to hear and answer prayers. I realize it is in your time and your way. Give me the strength to wait. In Jesus' name. Amen.
